How is that supposed to go through non-straight track or any banking at all?

^good point actually!

If you look, the bogie sets are quite close together on the chassis and that is what is going to prevent fast rolls from being achieved so I think it will be fine.

Woah check this out! Mack Rides have tested a spinning car on Blue Fire!!










Intamin and Raven Sun Creative's free-fall simulator hybrid:






Looks like a leaked image of the train to unveil tomorrow! Kinda reminds me of Mad Max

And they are announcing the Factory Coaster! I don't know what it is, just look at the image in the screens above

New Zamperla Factory Coaster:

Zamperla's new coaster is basically a familly SFX coaster, wih soft launch, backward part and drop down effect.

That Cobra's Curse model though.

Wow Cobra's Curse's layout sucks lol.

Please let that intamin simulator be used in star wars land.

Agreed

Also adding a spinning car to Blue Fire looks insane!

I'm only wondering how the already awesome heartline roll would be with a spinning car. That has got to be mental!

IMO "Single Rail Steel Coaster" should be also dubbed as Super Conductor!

I don't like the way that there's no safety rail at the front of the train- someone could fall onto the track!

That drop tower is cool. Much better than VR headsets on coasters.

Well here is a video on the polercoaster models. This is looking amazing!



And here is the full video of the spinning coaster car on Blue Fire!




and this was at the RMC booth... It seems way too small to be T-Rex Track. Could either be a model or a smaller track for smaller rides.

Maybe I need to see a different angle, but it looks like they tried way too hard and not hard enough all at the same time.

Heres another Angle of it.

Dissapointent!! I was hoping for a new train design to bring them back up to modern standards. Not that sad sack zero car on old trains.

[Paradox]

PTC fails every time. Not as horrifying as their steel coaster trains though.

I kinda like it....

[Coasterkidmwm]

I think they're cool looking too

I'd like to volunteer for the spinning blue fire testing. I've got to experience that heartline roll when spinning.

I heard an interview where they mentioned it was a smaller verison of the T-Rex track that they were doing some tests with.

It sounded to me like that it was an actual product for parks to buy, not just a test. Seems very small for a train though. Anyway, anyone know if that there's any updates on the vekoma dive pretzel coaster prototype they built at their factory? Haven't seen anything about it in a while.
